In March 2004, Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury, convened a group of thirty Muslim and Christian scholars for three days of theological dialogue on the issue of prophecy. Bearing the Word provides a record of this three-day seminar and includes a record of the discussions that took place as well as the papers presented on the day.Some of the key issues that were considered include how Muslims and Christians understand prophecy, how their scriptures differ or agree in describing the prophets, and what the places of Jesus and of Muhammad are in the two faiths, and in their view of each other’s faiths.This book follows on from The Road Ahead and Scriptures in Dialogue which were records of seminars held in 2002 and 2003 respectively.

Insights from the history of numerical notation suggest that how humans write numbers is an active choice involving cognitive and social factors. Over the past 5,000 years, more than 100 methods of numerical notation--distinct ways of writing numbers--have been developed and used by specific communities. Most of these are barely known today; where they are known, they are often derided as cognitively cumbersome and outdated. In Reckonings, Stephen Chrisomalis considers how humans past and present use numerals, reinterpreting historical and archaeological representations of numerical notation and exploring the implications of why we write numbers with figures rather than words.
